Daily Success Stories from ILLUMINATION

Find Your Voice on ILLUMINATION

1304 ILLUMINATION writers are supporting 11300 Medium members

Image by tingyaoh from Pixabay

A writer’s voice is not character alone, it is not style alone; it is far more. A writer’s voice line the stroke of an artist’s brush- is the thumbprint of her whole person- her idea, wit, humor, passions, rhythms. — Patricia Lee Gauch

I had numerous messages from our writers who comment that they were finding their writing voice on ILLUMINATION. It is an honor for us to be able to provide such a superior service to our writers who deserve it. This is the by-product of our diversity, inclusiveness, and cross-pollination values.

We value writers’ content and encourage them for continuous improvement. Rather than rejecting stories, we advise, edit, and enhance them to give value and more options for our readers. Our more experienced writers mentor relatively new writers to grow and succeed.

We believe in iterative progress. Several of our writers leveled up in the last couple of months using 30-day writing challenges. They tried developing stories on new topics beyond their comfort zone.

Over the last few weeks, I managed to influence some writers from other platforms and blogging sites to join Medium. These new members were impressed by our services and nurturing culture. Some shared their surprises on the remarkable collaboration among our writers characterized as unusual.

We care about the voice of our writers on ILLUMINATION. We strive to empower our writers hence took multiple measures and development activities. We will be providing several practical and guiding exercises. I will introduce some new services in my upcoming bulletins.

In the meantime, our editors have already started nurturing our new writers with guiding stories and featuring their content. For example, two of our editors Timothy Key and Kathryn A. LeRoy, Ph.D. have already created stories supporting our new writers. The following are two recent sample stories that you can check and gain benefits for your success.

Timothy Key committed to continuing this new series for a whole month in June. I highly recommend new writers to engage in these guiding stories. More of our editors will be providing similar content soon.

Our experienced writers provide guidance and review on our Slack channel. All of our writers are invited to participate and collaborate on Slack. We have over 300 members participating in several improvement activities.

What did ILLUMINATION writers create today?

Our writers created a lot of eclectic stories with many amazing voices today. They are fresh, engaging, and full of surprises. Many thanks to our writers for leaving comments explaining your great stories to our readers in the distribution list. Attached is a bundle of stories we created on ILLUMINATION today.

Meet New Writers of ILLUMINATION

We feel privileged again as 33 new writers joined our publication today. We have 1304 writers supporting ILLUMINATION now. A warm welcome to our new writers: Shrita Pathak, Iryna Kokota, Ada, Narinman Aresh, Maddy Chen, Alyssa Atkinson, Martin Andersson Aaberge, Kiran Jain, Eli Snow, Ujjawal Srivastava, Jian Xu, Sumon Basak, Fatima Khan, Rubaiyat Rahman, Bassey Elimian, Sithara Ariyarathna, Chris Chau, Diane Lee, Shrita Pathak, Ashley Chang, Christine Tu, Onyedikachukwu Czar, Tsava Dree, James Frank Sanders, Katarina Zunic, Yomi Omoogun, Allen R. Marquez, Natasha Curtis, Shawn Forno, Angel Santiago-Lopez, William Palmer, Ralph Deckers, Sayed Saryah Sareer

New writers can start submitting their articles to our publication. To ensure your stories are published on a timely basis, please provide required credits to the photos and extracted information from other sources. This is the most common issue delaying some stories to be published.

Please see the attached story on submission process documented by our editor Timothy Key.

I added many writers to our Slack channel today. Thank you for the inquires and willingness to join our collaboration and innovation lab. New writers are invited to join our Slack to have a chat and collaborate with other inspiring writers. We discuss editorial matters, Medium policies, content quality, and overall writing skills improvement. You can request an invitation to Slack from this link. Please type Request for Slack on the heading as I have many other requests from this link.

You can check this story from Timothy Key to learn how to use Slack if you haven’t used it before.

Content Quality Focus

Our current writers know that we strive for excellence. We aim to increase the quality of your stories and provide an enjoyable reading experience to our followers. Quality is an iterative process. I notice that the quality of our stories is increasing day by day.

New writers: please ensure that you check your stories for typos, spelling, and grammar errors before submitting them to the publication.

We have some volunteering editors who can perform a proof-reading for the writers from the non-English speaking background. You can search for volunteers from our Slack channel. One of the proof-reading tools our writers recommend is Grammarly.
